Auto Shanghai 2021 to showcase mobility’s future

EVs take pride of place at Auto Shanghai in China on April 21-28.

The popular show will focus on New Mobility China – a platform for the future of driving covering electromobility, autonomous driving and digitalisation.

China is the world’s most important market for future technologies in the automotive industry, not least thanks to state funding, smart city initiatives and the growing integration of vehicle, road and urban infrastructure, according to organisers.

Chinese and foreign-funded manufacturers are increasingly producing New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) which already accounted for 40% of the new vehicles presented at Auto China 2020 in Beijing last October – one of the first major auto shows back after the COVID-19 pandemic there, recording about 530,000 visitors

At the same time, the Chinese automotive market is undergoing a major recovery.

“We are very much looking forward to offering international supplier companies a platform in China once again, since the Chinese auto market still finds broad interest,” says Peter Bergleiter, managing director of IMAG, who has been the European co-organiser of the trade fair since 2003.  

“And events such as Auto China 2020 have shown that it is possible to stage even large trade fairs successfully and safely with the appropriate concepts.”

For eight days in April, the National Exhibition and Convention Centre (NECC) in the Chinese business metropolis will once again attract the international automotive world.

Press days are on April 19 and 20.
